cfish No it will not work that way. Each HDMI "output" port on the switcher is individualized. A push of the button switches between each component to route to the TV.. Let me know the model number of your sound system and I will figure out what you want to do.

Great! That HDTV antenna company seems to have a pretty good reputation for customer service (from my reading). AND they were the first (and only one) to reply to my e-mail answering your and my questions, (I sent the same e-mail to three big companies). That's a good sign. I saved their...

zchamps Just following up. Any luck? Greg

Rick Here is another external HDTV “tuner” OR "Digital Terrestrial Receiver", the type of component you would connect to your HDTV antenna and then route to either your TV or your external audio amp receiver. Again, think of it as replacing your cable box to be able to process/tune to the...

zchamps SPLITTER TOSLINK and SPDIF splitters usually work great, so the problem shouldn't be there (unless you are one of the 1% to have a defective one). BUT Sometimes the signal strength coming out the two downstream sides is NOT the same as the signal strength going in! It might be reduced...

MattBeasley, How did you fix it? I was going to borrow a PS3 this week and try it through the HDMI splitter to replicate the problem. So does the PS3 just hook into the HDMI splitter (just like my son uses his Xbox through it?). AND...........how is the splitter I recommended working for...

Rick You do not actually need 2 (TWO) components to be able to receive terrestrial broadcast signals on your TV. Simplest set up for the system would be to purchase your HDTV (either indoor or outdoor) antenna. The new antenna would hook directly to the back of your TV using the coax cable RF...

Rick I wouldn’t configure your HDTV over the “air” signal that way (using the HDMI splitter I mentioned). I would use an external HDTV “tuner” (a Digital Terrestrial Receiver)¬¬ to convert the incoming RF HDTV antenna signal to an HDMI outgoing signal. Then you just plug the external HDTV...

needinfo99 This is ONLY my take on your situation, so feel free to ask the community if they have a differ opinion. Your TV is most likely not going to play movies using just simply the TV’s USB port and a thumb-drive (without another component doing the playing/inputting the signal). Most...

Needinfo79, Make sure I understand correctly. [1] Your TV has zero audio out functions/connections? [2] But your TV DOES HAVE at least one USB function/connection? Questions [1] Does your TV have ANY HDMI inputs? [2] What model of Samsung is your TV? [3] Is your Samsung a "Smart TV" (with an...

needinfo79 I may be wrong, but so far, every TV that has had [1] an "internal" Internet connection (making it a "Smart TV") and those [2] that had a USB connection, have [3] had the ADDITIONAL "Audio Out" function as well. Thus, using the Audio Out function to link to your sound system...

I have a brand new 55" Samsung with ZERO audio outputs (go figure). My 55" Samsung is a model UN55FH6003F To solve the problem of improving the sound quality versus using the original on-board internal Samsung TV speakers, I bought an HDMI switcher box that has three "separate" audio outputs as...

Your Audio Signal Cable Choices Digital versus Analog Digital audio cables are meant to transmit a sophisticated high definition audio signal between your audio source component and a component to "play" the sound into your room. The older analog audio cables did the same thing, but they use...
